@zwrrel then you have to live in a restrictive mindset to keep it there. Your body will try everything to work against you literally "starving" it, and likely you'll gain it back. source: https://podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/the-biology-of-weight-loss/id1461494159?i=1000436977867

@catholic2001 I think it goes to say birth be crazy and be ready for anything. But having a vision is a good thing. Having a "best case scenario" is good. Understanding the data and consider expectant management care instead of active. My care providers did that as a standard, I think who is...

@catholic2001 I didn't take a class or anything, just read a lot of unmedicated birth stories. I also just told myself there was no option for meds, didn't allow for it to even cross my mind as an option. This is a privileged take, as I and baby(ies) were healthy throughout labor and my labor...

@jsj123 I think we are just harder on ourselves than we are on others. I can't tell when my friend has 10-15lbs more or less honestly. I'm about 10 lbs before my preppregnancy (2x) and I bet alot of people thought I snapped back but I did in fact not. My boobs are bigger, my hips are wider, i...

@cuteness20 I literally hate my boobs so much mostly because of my ugly ass nursing bras

My first official baby purchase, $165 for 25 4.0 bum genius , 3 bumgenius aio, lots of inserts and 4 wet bags. I have a few other types of my registry (flip, econobum). Do you have any newborn recommendations? Can I use these inserts for a newborn diaper or do most people do disposable for...

@blancheer Wait what is pull away??

@eldridge Some people recommend cracking open a cold one while nursing! Then if you are all that worried by the next feed it'll be mostly filtered though - kind of like when you can have a drink or two with dinner and drive home because you aren't drunk since you waited a bit

@kterry I switched away from Cheerios due to the pesticide they found in it

@yunus061 Did you also see a bill they turned down at the same time about decentralizing formula? https://ctmirror.org/2022/06/26/senate-fails-to-pass-breastfeeding-law/ So disgusting.

@mayfrancis We buy the ones with the lil dividers in them and some plain bowls. I love how easy they are to clean

@tobiahjude99 We use Corelle plates, no breaking yet for either of my 1 or 3 yo

@torn12 The reasoning there is no "safe" level of lead. Lead should always be zero but, thanks to leaded gas and beyond it's in our ground and ground water. And things that grow in the ground have lead in it. Even the most organic of organic sweet potatoes have lead in it. Thems the breaks. When...

@higherground Depends on - quality of your pump - quality of your pump parts - how you are using your pump (getting more than one let down, pump settings) - when you pump (time of day, when you nursed last) - how "hands on" you are while pumping, like do you hand express or massage while pumping...

@ronjonb Ugh we were in triple feeding hell for a month so I know what you mean. Luckily now baby has been on the boob since then with no supplementing. Hopefully one day you'll offer the baby a bottle after a long feed and they don't take it! That's what happened with me anyway.

@ronjonb Are you feeding at the breast and giving pumped milk after? That seems like baby isn't transferring milk well from the breast if you pumping that much. But I'm no expert! Seems like you are doing well and it's normal for them to up their intake over time.

@kybekynekane One up one down! It's alot but gives me lots of time one on one which is good.

@kybekynekane You should see the shit show I have going with my 2.5 yo and my 7m old. I like the quarter idea. I wish I had more weekend structure. My husband has been gone for 5 days and returns today so I'm ok with having an absolutely rabid day of small humans as long as they are fed, safe...
